High School Baseball: Alice athletes named to Flat Bill Class 4A players to watch list
Alice baseball players RJ Carrillo, Jacob Guzman and Sai Campos were named to the Flat Bill Class 4A Top 40 players to watch for the 2021 season.
The trio are hoping to have a breakout season in their final year with the Coyotes.
Carrillo and Guzman, who are both UTRGV signees and Campos, who is committed to Incarnate Word, return to the field Tuesday at Eagle Pass and Thursday-Saturday in the Banquete Heroes Tournament.
The Coyotes will be joined by IWA, George West and Ray in the Alice pool.
Alice, which had its season canceled in March because of the rise of COVID-19 in Texas, is hoping to make it back to the postseason for the first time since 2017.
